Description
|
"At each stage of your life you will make choices that effect the direction your life takes. How do you know if you are making the right decision? This is generally determined by the outcome. Although you cannot know the effects in advance for certain, if you are fully informed, you can be more comfortable that your decision will produce your desired outcome. Successful living requires making choices, setting goals and planning.
Decisions are usually based upon your values and the information you have at the time. In this WebQuest you will explore your values and consider decisions you make at various stages of your life. You will learn how to be informed in order to make the proper decision."
Questions: "What are important decisions at each stage of my life? How can I make the best decisions for my life plan?"
